1. Read the article without a dictionary, try to retell it. Word origin company: eats bread with you
The term company cor responds to companion and this in turn derives from the Latin words cum, «with», and panis, «bread». A companion, then, is one who eats bread with you, a «messmate», and when you have company at your house they share your hospitality. In its business use the romantic associations of the word company drained off.
2. Read and translate the proverbs, think of Russian equivalents, give a situation using them.
